I'm trying to build jboss for the first time from the src i downloaded from cvs. I'm in the jboss-all\build directory and issued a build.bat command. I get the error below. I have installed xdoclet 1.1.2 on my machine and xdoclet.jar is in the classpath. Any ideas on what is causing this error? I've exhausted the suggestions below.

thx, k.

BUILD FAILEDfile:C:/jboss-3.0.6/cvs/jboss-all/common/build.xml:119: Could not create task or type of type: jmxdoclet.

Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

This is common and has a number of causes; the usualsolutions are to read the manual pages then download andinstall needed JAR files, or fix the build file: - You have misspelt 'jmxdoclet'. Fix: check your spelling. - The task needs an external JAR file to execute and this is not found at the right place in the classpath. Fix: check the documentation for dependencies. Fix: declare the task. - The task is an Ant optional task and optional.jar is absent Fix: look for optional.jar in ANT_HOME/lib, download if needed - The task was not built into optional.jar as dependent libraries were not found at build time. Fix: look in the JAR to verify, then rebuild with the needed libraries, or download a release version from apache.org - The build file was written for a later version of Ant Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant - The task is not an Ant core or optional task and needs to be declared using .

Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implementedin ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on theclasspath

Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email theAnt mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored,as this is not an Ant bug.

I'm getting the same error. I downloaded the latest source from CVS and tried to run build/build.bat and it gives me the same error. I couldn't find any reference to any other setup that was required. Did you ever fix your problem? If so, how?
